- (continued from previous page)Good Weather.
When the sun goes down red.
The swallows fly high.
If the sky looks blue.
When the train roars loudly.
When the birds sing merrily.
When the ants have wings
If the smoke ascends into the air in a straight line from the chimney.
A red sky is the sign of stormy weather.
When the mountains seem far away.
When the goats are high on the hills.
When the gnats are out.
When the clouds resemble goat-hairs.
